I cannot stress enough the importance this man holds in my life. You, sir, are a gem of the 21st century and I wish you the best of life

[@heedmywarning2792]

Yes, yes, all of that. BUT, I think it's time for him to wear an actual tux, and top hat. Maybe a cane too. He could get a sponsorship for Planters or Monopoly.

[@nathanburnes4486]

@@heedmywarning2792 we need to get this to him by like yesterday. Grab a DeLorean and chuck it back to the beginning of his career with a tux

[@themeltedchocolate]

@@heedmywarning2792 but then he'd need one in every color! We definitely need to get a sponsorship for him

[@lilyr6755]

I conquer. I need this so I don't have to go through the entire series episodes binging again. I will miss it. I wanted I seasons at least. I wish it never would end. Best show & story ever series in a long time & of all time sci-fi space series & cast of actors characters I will miss their faces. I am glad that Amazon saved it for 2 extra seasons, cuz stupid sci-fi always drops shows prematurely.

[@AdamIsMyNameO]

Seriously, all streaming platforms need to hire him to make their recaps!

[@TG-Maverick22]

The Expanse is my favorite show and having watched all 5 seasons at least twice, this video is simply gold. I salute you Mr Man of Recaps. 100/100! I never give anything a 100 on youtube. Thank you for your impressive work on these recap series, keep them coming please.

[@mgonzo3881]

Is it worth watching even after this video? I need a new show to watch.

[@kombosto88]

Im planning to watch it 3rd times before season will drop and read last book which will be released on 30th of Nov.

[@FelipeKana1]

Spartan, if you didn't yet, I highly recommend reading the books, even after watching the show twice. They expand a lot and are really well written

[@FelipeKana1]

@@mgonzo3881 yes

[@FelipeKana1]

@@mgonzo3881 actually you really shouldn't have watched this recap. Lost a lot of amazing plot twists. Kinda bizarre choice actually. Go read the books and I still recommend watching the show

[@aneru9396]

I just wanna say that this show has done EXCEPTIONAL work on making background and third party characters have their own lives and problems to get over or decide what to do about which are direct consequences of the main plot’s fallout-that it really made the world that much more lived in for me. Unfortunately a lot of that didn’t make it into this recap, but the recap is still pretty spectacular at doing its job.

[@dare2liv_nlove]

Yes, many of the coolest plots/details were skipped over by this recap (understandably). To anyone reading, this treasure-of-a-show is immensely worth watching in full!

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Fantastic recap sir. SO excited for the final season!

[@charleshamilton9274]

“Remember the Cant!” the Belters’ exhortation. The Expanse is what’s possible when you have the very best at your disposal: writing, directing, set design, special effects, costuming and especially acting. Of all the moments in this series I treasure - and there are many - who can forget Amos telling Prax, “I am that guy.” Honorable mention: Avasarala’s wardrobe. Thanks Man of Recaps for this reminder of all that has gone before as the final season arrives in only weeks.

[@EddieBlake215]

The best scene/quote for me was "that's not how those things usually work" when the Roci saves Bobby and Avasarala

[@josherban2497]

Avasarala's wardrobe is indeed nonstop fire throughout the show

[@dante2037]

This show is the greatest Sci-Fi television show of the last decade and may be of all time. We need to band together and get Amazon and the writers to adapt the final 3 books after season 6 ends!

[@dare2liv_nlove]

Seconded! This is one of those underated gems that deserves all it's fan hype!

[@adelepattonxxx]

Yes!!! How do we do that?? Is there a website or social media thing???? BECAUSE- I LOVE THE BOOKS AND TV SERIES

[@drgirlfriend211]

Amen!!!!,

[@EssenceCobb-xd5xy]

I couldn't get into it.

[@dogsbreakfast4952]

😂 it’s so dumb

[@epicpanda558]

Man of recaps blesses us with another recap. Glad to see it's the expanse again. Also I'd like to recommend a recap of Vikings it's a great show and would love for you to recap it

[@ddsmitty1]

This recap is solid gold. Hell, they are all solid gold. The perfect way to either remind yourself what you already saw, or catch up on something you simply don’t have time to watch.

[@Itstwentwen]

I kept telling myself I was gonna watch. Well I started but I couldn't get into the story even after a few episodes. Then it became this sort of hidden gem. Everyone was raving about it online but I'm never gonna watch again so here I am.

[@dare2liv_nlove]

This recap doesn't really do justice to this show (not blaming him, still a fantastic summary). For one, it glosses over the awesome & intense battle scenes & intricate character development. In my opinion 1 of the greatest realistic sci-fi shows of the last decade, if not all time.

[@peterdamen2161]

It took me about 4 episodes to grasp the magnificence of this show. Now I think it is the best SciFi series ever! You simply have to make an effort to get into it. The reward is enormous!!!

[@taiwoadebisi9315]

This is my first time viewing a video on this channel. I binged all episodes of the Expance last year and mostly breezed through the last 2 seasons. But I am honestly shocked at how much I comprehended everything he said given how fast he was. Like Jeez, I actually understand this.

[@mexicanpolarbear]

I can’t believe you’re at a 1/4 of a million!! You’ve blown up as of late but i’ll always remember watching your early GOT vids. Love to see you gain exposure!!

[@ShawnTheDriver]

I think my favorite part of your recaps is the excitement in your voice when something big happens and then you go right back down to normal speaking. "So they play fetch with it to get it off the ship and once it's BeHiNd ThE eNgInE TURN IT ON, Ohhhhhhh burned up! So in season three...."

[@jeremya2535]

You have mastered recaps in a way no one could ever dream of replicating. You are a treasure, thank you good sir, thank you.

[@theotherone9206]

Amazing recap as per usual... You are the definition of Essential Personnel my man.

[@paul8683]

I have to admit, at the start I was thinking this is going to be bad but by the end I gained respect for blue tuxedo shirt guy. Good recap! Would recommend!

[@spidmadjarski4234]

i got a lot of stuff to do for school so i can't watch shows often, thank you for existing!

[@florinf8472]

this is one of those recaps that are so intense that sometimes i feel i need a recap of the recap. thanks

[@danielrose8305]

Love these recaps. Brilliantly done. Exactly what we need to get caught up. Thank you for these.

[@raphl8026]

Your content is amazing! I don't have time to watch these shows, so thanks so much!

[@GyrosHunter]

Was expecting some dull off the bat recap. Was not ready for this. Too EPIC!!

[@ron7182]

Another round of applause for “Man of Recaps”👏🏾

[@Dmbm789]

Rip to the one guy who’s head exploded in episode 1 on the roci

[@viktoramper]

This was a good way to start the morning! A good cup of coffee and this video. Thanks! (also, didnt know that about Cas Anvar. Yikes).

[@strawhatsmanager]

For some of the stuffs you haven’t covered i try looking at other channels but can’t really watch them cause they aren’t as high quality and keep you feeling like you have actually watched the show like you Just rounds of applause keep doing what you’re doing it’s amazing

[@umartariq]

this guy saved me so much time, i am just going to see the final season now , thumbs up :)

[@MissHardmode]

Seriously though you still should watch it!! One of the best shows ever, you eont be attached to the characters snd their arcs in season 6

[@nickloss2377]

comparing the MOR with all the other creators that post recaps, this man is the g.o.a.t. Anytime I need to watch a recap, I always Google the title of the show, followed by man of recaps. and if he's not the first search result, and I have to settle on some two-bit half-assed random recap, my despair lasts for weeks

[@richardpoliah3632]

You deserve a national award. Where is the national award button. Thank you!

Literally No one: Man of recaps every 10 seconds: dangerous space shenanigans

I had been waiting for S5 but didnt expect a full 5 season recap. Thank you! Also lol @ "bobbie does some investigation" *shows her beating someone up*

[@wildawakening]

That was great! Thank you so much for the thoughtful and thorough recap!

[@Kennia1998]

i love this show so much, i discovered it this year and finished it in less than a month) and i can't wait to wait every week for a new episode, i want that excitement haha, thanks for this

[@d.5432]

Man of Recaps is the hero we don't deserve. The Expanse is probably almost as complex as Game of Thrones at this point - this recap saved my life

[@m.i.n.9000]

also I watched this on and off so I kinda didn't get everything, imma rewatch it now I'm sure it's gonna make much more sense. there's also a recap by kevin smith but it stops at season 3 thank u again for this and everything else

[@rogermazuca4582]

Eff Kevin Smith, that hack

I would love to see you recap SANTA CLARITA DIET, WRECKED & THE DETOUR.. 3 amazing sitcoms with only 30episodes/20min long so you can finish them pretty fast! And for a show I would love to see you recap IMPOSTERS & MISFITS! Both pretty short shows 20-40episodes and both amazing! 😍
